Damage Caused by Rats
Finding Rats in your home or premise can be very stressful. There are two species of rat in Britain, the Brown Rat or Common Rat and the Black Rat or Ship Rat is now rarely found in the UK.
Rats are very persistent and once rats gain access into your property they can spread all kinds of disease such as Leptospirosis or Weil’s disease, Salmonella, Listeria, Toxoplasma gondii and Hantavirus this is normally spread through their urine causing damage and contaminate food.
The Problem
Rats can inflict a great amount of structural damage to your property chewing through wipes, pipes and anything they can get to as well as making a mess.
As well as making you feel on edge at home rats can also ruin an organisation’s reputation. If clients and customers spot evidence of rodent infestation in the premises you manage, they are unlikely to want to do business with you.
The Solution
Rats are adaptable, highly mobile and breed rapidly, this combination can make rat control a difficult task for the untrained individual. Taking prompt action at the first sign of rats will ensure your problem can be quickly treated.
Rodenticides can be used as part of a planned programme of anti–pest activity and regular monitoring. We’ll put a schedule of visits in place designed to effectively take care of your rat problem with the minimum of disruption.
